About this property
Cottage By The Bay by AvantStay | 0.5mi to Beach!
Introducing Cottage By The Bay, your Whidbey Island retreat nestled just a stone’s throw from the coast! Both cute and coastal, this charming cottage has everything you need for the perfect getaway.
As you step inside, a first seating area greets you with a cozy fireplace and sofa. The main living area exudes coastal comfort and is the perfect place for movie or game nights. Above lies a loft with a desk space. Separate from the rest of the home, it’s ideal for working from home or just for those needing a bit of solitude.
Two comfortable bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a full bed, ensure a restful night of sleep for everyone. The queen bedroom offers a TV for additional entertainment.
The spacious backyard invites you to enjoy outdoor living. The dining table on the back patio is covered, so you can dine alfresco without worry, while string lights add ambiance to the space. Fire up the grill for an evening BBQ, or take advantage of the fully equipped kitchen inside. The fenced-in yard and large lawn make it ideal for families and furry friends.
Cottage By The Bay boasts a prime location, with beach access at Frank D. Robinson Beach just a short 10-minute walk away! Stunning stretches of coast and nearby state parks mean there’s no shortage of things to explore. The enchanting getaway of your dreams awaits at Cottage By The Bay!
AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more.

Discover the allure of Whidbey Island, where tranquility meets captivating landscapes. Embraced by the Puget Sound, this paradise invites group travelers to unwind on sandy shores and explore nature's wonders. Quaint villages add to the island's charm, each with a unique character. And when it’s time for adventure, outdoor enthusiasts can embark on adventures from Deception Pass to Ebey's Landing.
Local Attractions: Coupeville, Greenbank, Langley, Fort Casey State Park, Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve, Whidbey Island Distillery, Deception Pass State Park and Deception Pass Bridge, Fort Ebey State Park, Admiralty Head Lighthouse, Oak Harbor
Home Truths:
- This home accepts a maximum of 2 small dogs or 1 large dog with a 50 lb weight limit for a fee; undisclosed pets brought without AvantStay’s approval may result in a $500 fine per pet
- The loft ladder is accessible to guests with the key which is located above the sink on a hook. It's blocked off for safety if kids are there.
- The backyard is fenced-in.
- Please note the home does not have A/C.
- Please note that infants are considered part of the total guest count under HOA rules.
- Whidbey Island is home to a naval air base. On a few weekdays each month (and occasionally in the evening), you may hear loud flight training. The Navy does not conduct training on weekends or holidays and typically publishes the schedule one week in advance.
